What students say about earth-sciences

The support from university and staff has been amazing! Teaching is outstanding and great facilities. Only downfall is Aberdeens student life and location, the campuses aren’t very close together for people who rely on public transport . I find being a driver just as hard due to lack of parking and costs. £5.75+ per day to park adds up a lot for someone who doesn’t come from a wealthy family.

What students say about earth-sciences

Best: Lots of fantastic clubs and events happening all of the time. Gorgeous campus Worst: I really struggled to get support with some of my go abroad opportunities, I felt it was badly organised and (obviously not all but) some members of staff did not seemed informed at all on most aspects of the process.

What students say about earth-sciences

The moment I first entered my university, it genuinely felt like a dream—and it still does! Heriot-Watt Edinburgh is truly the best place to study. The academic environment here is nothing short of inspiring. I've joined so many societies and clubs, and they’ve been incredibly helpful in many ways, but it’s the education that truly stands out. The professors here are not only experienced but are leaders in their fields, bringing cutting-edge knowledge and real-world expertise into the classroom. The curriculum is challenging yet rewarding, and the resources available for learning are exceptional. I feel constantly supported in my academic journey, whether it's through dedicated faculty or the state-of-the-art facilities. I’ve gained so much more than just knowledge; I’ve gained a deeper understanding of my field and am constantly motivated to push myself further. Beyond the academics, the faculty is supportive and caring, and whether it’s the Student Union or the Student Well-being services, I’m in love with all the facilities. I was homesick and overwhelmed, wrapped in a blanket of uncertainty, but the Student Well-being team and my personal tutor have been a great help! All in all, Heriot-Watt offers a holistic academic experience that I couldn’t have asked for more.

What students say about earth-sciences

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.

UHI is a fantastic university for distance learning courses. The support that they provide is assuring, teachers are helpful and knowledgeable, and the intended learning outcomes are very clearly outlined from the very start. Accordingly, I enthusiastically recommend studying the PG distance learning courses through the UHI!

Tutors are lovely but the only thing that could be improved is the support for the English and the rest of the students who are not from Scotland. It's took me 3 years to get help for my dyslexia and that is because I have to pay for it.

Student safety and community feel is very strong. Lots of history surrounding the university and the town is beautiful. To improve I would have better transport for student to move between town and the nearest cities (like Edinburgh), better nightlife for the students and more accomodation.
